Hey everyone, here is our first feature update for Brawlhalla Alpha.

The four existing Legends (Bödvar, Cassidy, Völst, Lord Vraxx) now have stat and power differences, check out what makes each one unique.

We did a batch of great changes suggested by the community, thanks for all the feedback! In addition to that we fixed a pile of bugs, made some balance changes, and improved lag slightly (don't worry we're still working on lag and there's plenty more to come).

Update to Characters

• Each Legend in Brawlhalla now has 4 special powers, one for each weapon!
• Each Legend now has different stat allocations.
• Legends page now active on the main menu, with the stats and powers of each.
• New colors and minor costume change for Cassidy to help in-game readability.
• Minor color changes to Volst to increase readability.

Community Requests

• New 1v1 map added for smaller games.
• Hold back on a controller or tab on the keyboard to see player name and score in a match.
• Change your Legend's colors on the character select screen by pressing any direction after selecting your Legend.
• Sudden Death now disarms and respawns appropriate players instead of continuing combat at the moment of the tie.

Performance Improvements

• Changed login flow to take you to the main menu even if you haven't connected yet.
• Added a Reconnect to Server button to help... reconnect to server...
• Updated combat simulation to help lessen lag in Online play.

Bug Fixes

• Scoreboard no longer cuts off the victor's name in the header at the top of the screen.
• Local matches no longer spawn items more frequently than Online matches.
• Players using controllers no longer get stuck in a state where they can't slide on a wall without pressing the stick.
  
• Items start blinking before they expire when playing Online like they do for Local games.
• Fixed a bug where you would not get sent back to the main screen after getting disconnected from game lobbies.
• Controllers connecting midgame will attach themselves to players who had controllers dropped from them. This should fix an issue people are having with the F310 momentarily losing connection.
• Players can no longer change characters after a game has been started by the host.
• Thrown items should no longer "ride the rails" on the underside of hard platforms.

Powers

• Increased recovery time on Heavy Aerial Down attacks and gave them a slight angle offset to address ground pound chaining.
• Slight decrease to Light Aerial damage/impulse on the hammer, particularly the up attack.
• Slight decrease to minimum charge times on the pistol Ground Heavy attacks.

We are thrilled and excited to kick off our Steam Early Access by offering the opportunity for players to become Founders.

Brawlhalla is a super fun game that we love, and we know it has a ton of potential. To make it as great as it can be, we need the help of dedicated players who want to get involved early in development and help us create a truly amazing fighting game.

We aren't ready for the massive numbers of players an Open Beta brings, so we're starting with a call for Founders who want to be involved with our Alpha. Founders support our development process and help make Brawlhalla better. In return we make sure that there are great rewards for being a Founder on top of Early Access to the game.

We're offering three Founders Packs with different price points and cooler and cooler rewards:

Founders Pack - $12.99

Get in and get playing right away! This gives you access to Brawlhalla from our Alpha phase on. You'll be able to play and give feedback while we're still developing.

3 Alpha Invite Codes
Invite 3 of your friends to come play, so you can beat them up and make them jealous of your other exclusive bonuses. They get instant access to Brawlhalla from the Alpha phase on. They don't get any of the other great rewards in the Pack, those are just for you!

Founder’s Nameplates
Special icons that frame your name every time you score a knockout (or fall out of the ring) and on the end of game score screen. Let everyone know you were part of building the halls of Brawlhalla!

Steampunk VALKRI Skin
VALKRIs are helpful bots that bring you weapons, retrieve you when you fall from the arena, and watch over you while you brawl. Yours will be able to sport the stylish Steampunk Skin to show off its owner’s elite status as a Brawlhalla Founder.

Collectors "Asgardian Elite" Weapon Skins
These cosmetic only skins make your in game weapons appear like they were forged for the denizens of Asgard themselves. Strike awe into the hearts of your foes as you deliver those knockout blows.

Collectors "Champion of the Brawl" Bodvar Skin
Bodvar was the first champion of Brawlhalla, and remains the most-feared and respected fighter in the arenas. For Collectors level Founders only, he’ll break out the classic costume he wore when he won for the very first time.

Collectors "Flames of Ragnarok" KO special effect
Every time you knock some challenger from the ring, you’ll trigger this special burst of celebratory flames. Let your fallen foes know that you were there when it all began.

Mammoth Idols
Once Open Beta begins, players can use Mammoth Idols to unlock characters and skins. As a Founder, you get a steep discount off the launch price. Not transferable to other Blue Mammoth games.
